Cylinders it takes

Standard racks hold the small medical gas cylinders used in hospitals, clinics and labs. Each cylinder sits in its own coated slot, so nothing rattles against bare metal on the way.

  • 32cylindersMid-size hospitals and nursing homes

  • 48cylindersHigh-volume hospital systems

Larger racks, custom decks and custom cylinder loading are built to order.

Compatible cylinder sizes M7, M9, C, D and E

Coated racks

The cylinder racks carry a protective coating. Cylinders never touch bare metal, the cart runs quieter in occupied corridors, and valves and finishes are spared the chips a bare rack leaves.

Built-in safety

Pushing and pulling a loaded cylinder cart by hand is a common cause of strain injuries. The motor takes that force off the operator, and these controls keep the cart in check.

  • Emergency stop button
  • Keyed power switch to stop unauthorized use
  • Horn for blind corners
  • Regenerative braking when it slows
  • Automatic holding brake when it stops
  • Battery charge indicator
  • Full wrap-around bumpers
  • Non-skid platform with curved corners
  • Foam-filled, non-marking tires that never go flat

Speed, range and ramps

  • 0 to 3 mph

    Two speed ranges

    Use 0 to 1.5 mph in tight bays and 0 to 3 mph in open corridors, forward and reverse.

  • 10 mi

    Per charge

    Deep-cycle AGM batteries and an on-board charger that plugs into any 100 to 240 V outlet. Charge it overnight.

  • 6°

    Ramps

    Rated for 6° inclines. Regenerative braking slows it and the holding brake locks the wheels when it stops.

Where it works

  • Hospitals and respiratory therapy

    Center-wheel drive turns tight through doorways and elevator banks, and the bumpers protect walls and casework.

  • Labs and industrial gas

    Calibration gas, helium and nitrogen come in the same cylinder sizes. Non-marking tires keep finished floors clean.

  • Long-term care and EMS bays

    One trained operator can stage a day of E cylinders in a single trip, with no second person needed.

Overview

Operator control panel close-up on Pony Express motorized cylinder cart

The Pony Express Motorized Cylinder Cart is designed to reduce worker strain and prevent injuries by eliminating manual push/pull forces. With racks that securely hold medical gas cylinders and protect them from damage or noise during transport, it keeps workplaces efficient and safe.

Key Features

  • Heavy-duty motorized cart built for safe medical gas cylinder transport
  • Designed and manufactured in the USA with a powder-coated welded steel frame
  • Center wheel drive system provides a tight turning radius for easy maneuvering
  • Deep cycle AGM rechargeable batteries with on-board UL/cUL listed smart charger
  • Foam-filled, never-flat drive tires for reliable performance on all surfaces
  • Ergonomic handle controls with two-speed ranges: 0–1.5 mph (slow) or 0–3 mph (fast), forward and reverse
  • Non-skid platform surface with curved corners and full wrap-around bumpers for safety
  • Regenerative braking and automatic holding brake keep the cart secure on inclines
  • Cylinder racks accept M7, M9, C, D, or E cylinders with protective coating to reduce noise
  • Safety features include keyed power switch, emergency stop button, horn, and battery charge indicator

Built for Durability

Made with a welded steel frame, wrap-around bumpers, and foam-filled tires, this cart is built to withstand daily use in hospitals, labs, and healthcare facilities.

Power and Control

Operators can easily adjust speed with ergonomic handle controls, while advanced braking ensures full safety on inclines and slopes.

Warranty

The Pony Express Motorized Cylinder Cart includes a 2-year warranty on the frame and motor, ensuring long-term reliability and peace of mind.

The Pony Express is a walk-behind, motorized way to move heavy oxygen and medical gas cylinders without anyone wrestling a loaded hand truck down a corridor. If your facility racks up the kind of back strain and dropped-cylinder near-misses that come with manual moves, this is the unit built to stop them. It belongs to our line of motorized oxygen cylinder transport carts, so you can compare cylinder counts, capacities, and frame options before you commit. Hospitals and large clinics that also shuttle linens, equipment, and floor supplies between departments often pair it with our broader range of hospital cylinder and supply transport carts, which covers the heavier general-purpose tugging those buildings need every shift.

Documents

How many cylinders does the Pony Express MGC cart hold?

The MGC Series comes with racks for 24, 32, 40 or 48 cylinders, on standard decks rated for 1,500 lb or 2,000 lb. Larger payloads, larger cylinder racks, custom decking and custom cylinder loading are available when you need more.

Can one person move a full load of cylinders with the Pony Express?

Yes. One trained operator can move a full rack, up to 2,000 lb on the standard deck. The operator walks behind and sets speed with the handle controls while the motor does the pushing, so nobody wrestles a loaded hand truck down a corridor.

What cylinder sizes fit the Pony Express MGC cart?

The standard racks accept M7, M9, C, D and E medical gas cylinders, with a protective coating that holds them quietly and prevents scratching. For larger cylinders, EK Tech offers larger racks and custom decking, and its Pony Express 2010 upright cylinder cart carries a single liquid gas cylinder or up to four K size cylinders.

How long does the Pony Express cylinder cart battery last on one charge?

Up to 10 miles per charge on deep cycle AGM batteries, which typically covers a full shift of back and forth corridor routes. The on board UL and cUL listed smart charger plugs into a standard 100 to 240 VAC outlet, so you park it and charge it overnight without removing the battery.

Will the cylinder cart hold itself on a ramp?

Yes. It is rated for inclines up to 6 degrees. Regenerative braking controls the cart as it slows, and an automatic holding brake keeps it in place when it stops, so operators do not hold the loaded cart back with their bodies on a slope.

Does the Pony Express cylinder cart fit through doors and tight hallways?

A center wheel drive system gives the cart a tight turning radius for loading dock turns and elevator banks. Width varies with rack size, so measure your narrowest doorway and tightest turn and we will confirm the fit for the rack you choose.

Will the cylinder cart tires mark a finished hospital floor?

No. The drive tires are foam filled, never flat and non-marking, so they will not streak epoxy, polished concrete or vinyl tile corridors. The non-skid platform has curved corners and full wrap-around bumpers.

How loud is the Pony Express cylinder cart near patient areas?

It runs quietly enough for occupied hospital corridors. The coated cylinder racks stop metal on metal contact, so cylinders do not clatter during transport. It is quiet, but not silent.

How fast does the Pony Express cylinder cart go, and what controls does it have?

Ergonomic handle controls offer two speed ranges, 0 to 1.5 mph for slow work and 0 to 3 mph for long corridors, in forward and reverse. The handle sits 39 in high, and the cart has a horn, a key switch, an emergency stop and a battery charge indicator.

Is the Pony Express cylinder cart OSHA compliant?

EK Tech does not list an OSHA or NFPA certification for this cart. OSHA 1910.101(b) requires in-plant handling, storage and use of compressed gas cylinders to follow CGA Pamphlet P-1, and your facility safety officer and fire code set the local rules. The cart carries cylinders in coated racks on a powder coated welded steel frame built in the USA.
